I really like the direction this team is going but I'm not so sure they can really be a contender in the East this year. The East has gotten a lot stronger over the last few years and while I think they can make the playoffs I don't really see any chance that they can really beat The Magic, the Heat, the Celtics, of the Bulls. And I'm skeptical they can even beat teams like the 76ers or the Hawks.

Every Monday, with the assistance of the good people over at www.basketball-reference.com, I like to take a look deep into the statistics of teams and players from around the league in a little post I like to call “Fun with Box Scores”.

The NBA league pass is awesome, but nothing beats a good TNT double-header.
Tonight, we get a great TNT double-header.
The night starts off with Cleveland at Miami. I’ve written this before, but LeBron vs. Wade is the best head-to-head matchup to watch in the NBA right now. These guys always bring out the best in each other.

Tonight the Boston Celtics play the Miami Heat in what should be an epic battle. This will be a duel between Paul Pierce and Dwayne Wade which should have us on the edge of our seats.

(cue the Biggie...) I'm going out of town for the long holiday weekend, so all of you out there (if there are any of you) are going to have to survive for a few days without my wonderful and insightful analysis about all things basketball for a few days. (I'll pause for a moment to let you scream in anguish and control your sobbing...) But fear not, I will be back with even more opinions and prognostications about the realm of professional sports on Tuesday, and by then I should have plenty to write about.

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.
